The Plantagenet man of war, which arrived at Yarmouth on the Bth inst. sailed from Carlscrona On the 6th ult. with the trade assembled at that port. The Mercurius joined off the harbour with ,the trade from Stockholm, and was joined at the South en trance of the Great Belt, on the 14th, by 8 t sail, under convoy of the Tartar, making together 356 . They got all safe ten leagues round the Schaw, when a gale of wind, at N. N. W. and a very thick , fog dispersed them into different Swedish ports, between Gottenbnrgh and Orous, end on the 31st, 170 sail got into Gotteuburgh, with the Plantagenet. Forty-one sail were colleCted be tween that port and the Naze also about sixty or seventy sail, bound to Hull and Leith, parted on the 33 inst. Fifty sail of the fleet were 'seen under convoy of the Mercurius, which have arrived at the Nore. About eighty sail parted from the Planta genet, off Yarmouth. The Vanguard, which arrived at Yarmouth on the B th inst. parted with several of tY.:' '2leet off that Part. The Cerl•erus arrived at Yarmouth on the 6th inst. with part of the fleet.

Yesterday afternoon a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, at which the tollowing Mem bers were present :—The LORD CHANCELLOR, halls LIVERPOOL, CAMDEN, CHATHAM, BATHURST, and HARROWEY j Lord MULGRAVE, and the CHAN CELLOR Of tne EXCHEQUER. Yesterday morning dispatches were received at the Admiralty from Admiral ROWLEY, at Jamaica, giv ing an account of the Lark sloop of war hat ing up set, and suuk in a dreadful gale—All her crew, it is said, perished, except three men and a carpenter. ,The St. James's Volunteers having offered the Services of the Regiment to attend the funeral of the late Duke of PORTLAND, Major DowNs, their Com lbdricier, received the loilowing letter from the pre sent Duke " SIR, " We'beck, Nov. 4, ►BO9.

An Oxford Correspoudent, in a letter to us ob serves, that should Lord GRENVILLE. be elected CHANCELLOR, the choice would, spew a strange inconsistency, and a total derelietion of former principles, as it would be placing that Nobleman at the head of an University which, but a short time ago, thanked and congratulated our beloved Sovereign fur dismissing him from office. On Sunday morning a quarrel arose between two prisoners on board the Sampson prison-ship at Chat tarn, when one of them drew a knife and stabbed his antagonist in the belly. The man died in a very short time afterwards. ' The other evening, as some boys were playing at ire-works in Rosemary-lane, a boy let off a small brass cannon loaded with a marble it entered the lead of a boy of the name of John Glover, which killed him on the spot. Thursday evening the preinises of Mr. Jones, in Eagle -street, Red Lion-square, were entered and robbed of a quantity of wearing apparel. Tuesday evening as the Maidstone waggon was on its way from London to that place, it was robbed of a large hamper of confealionary, and a truss con taining four hundred yards of velveteen, and several pieces of calico. Last Wednesday morning the warehouse of the Bull and Mouth Inn was broke open and robbed of several parcels, besides cash in the counting-house. BOW-STREET.—About eight o'clock, last evening, Mr. Jones was brought into the Office, in custody of an Officer, for making a riot in Covent-Garden Theatre. Mr. Bennet stated he was in the pit, and saw the defendant hoist a placard in one of the side boxes, in the second tier; that he huzza'd and shouted,, to the great disturbance - of the quiet part of the audi ence ; that a number of persons in the pit called but " Shame ! shame ! Turn him out—we cannot hear the performance for him"—at the same time pointing up to the Defendant. That the witness went round to the boxes, and proceeded to the box where -the Delenc+ant was, who was holding up a placard and shouting; the witness snatched it out of hand, on which then Defendant assaulted him by striking him. Mr: GRAHAM, the Sitting Magistrate, observed, that he would never listen to an assault arising out of such a case as this, from either party. It was doubt ful, if Mr. Bennet did ,not commit the first assault, by snatching the placard. The Defendant acknowledged that he had held up the placard, and had, during the night, shewn his disapprobation of the performance ; but denied that he had either huzza'd or shouted; and that he 'was assaulted by Be.nnet• in a most disgraceful manner. Mr. GRAHAM desired him to find bail ; himself in tool. and two sureties in 601. each, for his appear -once at the next Quarter Sessions. This was imme diately complied with by Mr. Jones ; who said he *was a haberdasher, and lived its the City I. he was accordingly discharged.

The recent ap pointment of Lord WELLINGTON, as Captain Gene ralissimo, and supreme head of Portugal, had raised great confidence, and given general satisfaaion.— The Quebec also brings intelligence, that a very smart anion bas been fought between the French and Spanish armies, in which the former were defeated, with the loss of 2000 men, in killed, wounded, and prisoners.

We hope they will collect and publish them together, as it is hardly • a compliment to them to say, that they have iucceeded as well in adapting the OnEs of HOR ACE to Modern Characters and Manners, as POPE has in several of the I: ISTLES Of the celebrated Roman Poet. LAW REPORT. COURT OF KlNG's BENCH, Nov. so. CARRINGTON V. TAYLOR. Mr. GARROW applied for a Rule to shew cause why a new Trial should not be granted in this case. The cause had been tried before the Lord Chief Baron, and the ground of the action was, the De feydant had disturbed the Plaintiff's decoy, by dis charging guns in its neighbourhood. • • The lad was, that both the Plaintiff and Defen dant made their living by killing of sea wild-fowl ; and the at of aggression on the Plaintiff's decoy was, not that he had made an actual inroad or' tres-_ pass on the decoy, by destroying any of the tame birds used on, such occasions, but that, by tiring in the neighbourhood of the decoy, he had frightened those birdl ferce naturce, which might 'accidentally hav e gone into the Plaintiff's decoy, but Which the Defendant and all .his Majesty's subjects were en titled to kill, and appropriate to their own use, wherever they could be found beyond the bounds of any such legal, decoy, .from entering th e Pl a i nt iff' s decoy, and partaking of the good cheer there to be found. Mr. Justice LE BLANC asked, within what dis tance of the decoy the fit ing had taken place, and it any birth at the decoy had aCtually .been frightened away ? Mr. GARROW said, the evidence bore that the firing had advanced to within three or four hundred yards of the decoy, and that in consequence of it a number.of birds hid been frightened from the Plain tiirs pond. He contended that this was not a suffi • cient disturbance of the Plaintiff's right of decoy to support an action like the present. Lord ELLENBOROUGH said, the present, it .appear ed, was an ancient decoy.--:Having a right to an ancient decoy, the Plaintiff was entitled to an un disturbed possession and enjoyment of it. The rest of the Court concurred; and the Rule was of course refused. STOKES V. HANIMELL. Mr. ABBOTT applied for a Rule to shew cause why the Defendant shduld not be let in to plead in this case. It appeared horn the affidavit of the De fendant, that he had never been served with a copy of the process in this case, which was an anion of Grim. Con. brought by the Plaintiff against the Defendant, his late partner, with whom he formerly carried on business as an Attorney at Chepstow. This affi davit had been answered by. a counter affidavit of a person who had been a Clerk to the Plaintiff and Defendant, who deposed to his having served the process on a female servant of the Defendant. To meet this .affidavit, .however, the female servant al luded to, and her mother, who was in the house at the time, deposed that the person said to have served the notice of process came into the house of the De fendant by the back way, through the garden, into the kitchen ; that he then gave to the servant a bundle of papers, telling her that they were private papers concerning ber master, which he bad found among other papers, and which he wished her to deliver to him. The servant told the person he might then see her master, but this be declined, re tiring, as he had come in, by the back way. The girl immediately took the bundle of papers to her master, which he swore that he had examined both that night and next morning ; that they were pri vate papers concerning the Defendant, but none Of them a notice of process in that action or con neat ed with it. • hole to show cause grauted. ances, -we should hope that the . atiaterrient Of uproar we had not been so often deeeiVed by iipl * Ye'ai , l which v. evident last. night proMised a termination of the distuit'7;:tees that ii!!Adt. So long exised. opponents of the ,r roprietors ce,_ 21) Y . - I did not Shea so much of that tnrions ire which they Stye hithertr.) displayed, but assumed sofnethifig a joe'irlar slie r cies of hostility. The 0. P. squadron wt `t ably strong, but were not quite so Violent. only indication of a mischievous spirit wa s in o n e : ruffian who threw a household bell upon the stage-, but which fortunately did not hit any p:trformer.- Some offensive exclamations were aimed at the La dies in the private boxes, but they were so MuCh discountenanced by the majority, that the authors did not thilik proper to repeat them ;. and 0.1 0 4 1 the fair visitors continued to he the objects of notice and animadversion, yet they were only assailed by s harmless kind of waggery, tending to ekcite laugh ter rather than resentment.----Ineed, the odd ho moors of - the maleconteuts in general' produeed laughter among that part of the audience who took no share in the opposition, and. Oki cheerful impulse seethed to spread itself over the active spirits 1.v116 exrt ited it. Upon the whole, though there - was much tumult last night, it did not wear a disgusting form, but appeared to be strongly marked by that sportive turn which characterises an English.crowd, brought together for some scene of a diverting na ture. Notwithstanding therefore all our disappoint:- ments, we feel strongly inclined to hail thiS'obVious change in the temper of the crowd as a sign that the liberal character of the people is beginning to unfold itself, or at least that those who have darker views than the restoration of old prices of admission, though they may succeed in rousing the feelings of honest JOHN BULL for a short time, cannot corrupt his principles. and destroy his generous temper. The play, which was The Man of tke World, was but thinly attended at first, and was heard with an attention little interrupted during the first two acts, Mr. C. KEMBLE, experienced some disapprobation on his entrance, and this was repeated at times ; but this was so evidently the effusion of, private spleen, that it was repelled by the general sentiment. A. Morning Paper says that a dog was again brought forward, with 0. P. fastened round his neck. We did not see this four-footed champion of Old Prices, and the general tumult prevented him from being heard if he employed -his vocal powers in support of them. The following were the only novel PlacarL " New Prices down to Hell, And say Old Prices sent ye thither." " John Keinble may finesse and cheat, but can't his prices save ; For john Bull holds the King of trunipti Which always beats a Knave." " john Kemble in his drowning need, Relies upcn a fragile R O." Mr. KEMBLE, as usual, is seta:led for ,pecitiCar hostility, but why It is difficuli to say. He must try to console himwlf upon SWIFT'S priikipie—tlot we may always know a man of abilities by the host of blockheads who rise.against him. _ _ The ballet of Oscar and Ilialvina went off with an accompaniment from the pit rather than from the orchestra, and on the conclusion, after a few abor tive attempts at oratory, the usual 0. P. dance took took place. There ward evidently a want et harmony even among those who were embarked in a com mon cause, for one half of them roared " Gout save the King" while the other were equally vo ciferous in bawling " Bide Britannia." At length, without displaying any mischievous sentiment, they left the Theatre, but so gradually, that we suppose they haVe abandoned their pLin of carrying their pro• ceedings beyond dramatic ground. LYCEUM.—The popular drama of The Begs gar's Opera drew a numerous audience last night..— Mr. PHILIPPS,- for the first time, appeared in the character of Macheath, which he performed with great spirit, and with a just conception of that cha racter. He was very successful in the songs, and res ceived kreat applause throughout. It is to be regret ted that 4his performer does not endeavour to get rid of a kind i of coaxing, wheedling gesture, which in a Woman vi7ould excite the 'idea of rustic coquetry, and is the only drawback on his action, which is otherwise easy,.. spirited, and manly. Mrs. &snot , was not quite at borne in the part •of Polly', nor did she seem sufficiently possessed of the dialogue, and there was a languor in her manner of singing that seems to betoken lizlisposition.' KIVIGHV.WIIS plea sant and effective in,Filcll.l- A little boys named SHAW, danced a hornpipe in the prison scene so well as to promise that he will probably become distin guished in the Ballet department. ~ • A Morning Paper remarkably hostile to Covent- Garden Theatre, has adopted an artifice to deter dt cent people from visiting it, by represznriug all the persons who appear there as friends to the Proprie tors, as offensive in their dress, and absolutely nau seous with filth. This representation is a " weak invention of the enemy," and is just as applicable to the malecontents, as to the friends of the Theatre. There are doubtless, as we have always said, many respectable persons who are averse to the new regu lations of the Theatre, but - these persons are inca pable of those riotous proceedings which have so long disgraced the metropolis ; among the per sons who have taken a violent part in opposing those re gulations, there have been many desperate agents, who have been marked by that disgusting appear. ante in dress and manners, which the Morning Paper wholly imputes to the supporters of the Proprietors. As a proof of the temper and ciial;:e ter of the opposition, it may be asked whether any friend of the Proprietors would be suffered to utt , r his sentiments, however they might be supported by truth and justice ? A daring robbery was committed in the road lead ing from St. Anne's village to Christchurch, on Sun , day night, on •Mr. Perkes, a traveller in the Borough, by two ruffians, who robbed him of 181. his watch, and even his bridle and saddle. The robbers made towards Hindlnirst. Mr. Perkes had some valuable papers 'in his pocket-book, and Bills of Exchange, which the thieves returned. An Association was formed at Liverpcol i on Wed• nesday se'nnight, for. the very 111.11133L1e purpose of suppressing the cruelty so cominor4 inflicted on animals. As a first object of their concern, they purpose to notice the 9yorlAding ant; ili trva!rucra tw cart horns, &c,
